And heres the important infomation for New England:

November:"The East Coast will be mild, but temperature departures from average will decrease towards the end of the month; New England ski areas will have a tough time getting started as snowmaking efforts may be futile. Any cold shots into New England will be short-lived and warmer than models forecast."

December:"In New England, clipper systems will be the rule, possibly tracking in on the arctic jet with constant light snowfall. December will be well cold enough for round-the-clock snowmaking in the Northeast and snowfall will favor upslope regions of northern New England."

January:"This month will be similar to December as we start out cold and snowy across the northern tier of the U.S. I do not think there will be too much in the way of large storm cycles, but more of a persistent cold with light bouts of snow. On average, the nation will average below-normal precipitation and below-average temperatures. The greatest chance of above-normal temperatures will be in the southwest and southern California."

Febuary: "The East Coast will turn mild with Pacific air, and February could be a month of thaws and mixed precipitation events in the Northeast."

March: "The east is up for grabs to possibly try to recover from February."

Summary: "Slightly below average temperatures with 90-110% of seasonal snowfall average."
